Strawberries & Petite Petit

I was looking at this week's ad and I was blown away by two cool things!

First, Ed our Prince of Pau Hana is offering a limited supply of Petite Petit by Michael David.
I personally am a fan of this particular little gem. The wine is made of a blend of petite syrah and petit verdot. It is a really nice jammy, plummey (is that a word) wine... He's offering it at close to 1/3 of the price you would pay in a restaurant. Heck, the whole bottle is selling for the cost of a glass at the place I originally tried it!

Here is what I am going to do this weekend, and I suggest you do as well.

Take some of those ripe beautiful berries and quarter them...

Next, take a little of the precious Petite Petit and splash the berries. You know, give them a good little drink. They deserve it.

Then, sprinkle just a little sugar on the mixture. Let it sit for 15 minutes or so.

When you are ready, put a few scoops of your favorite vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl and top with the berries. By then, the wine will have macerated with the berries and you will have a wonderful little sauce.

Finally, sit back and enjoy all the sighs and accolades you receive from your friends and guests.

Man how time flies! Can you believe that it is time again for the Eat Local Challenge? I know that we typically focus on this challenge once a year, but how did you do all year? Were you able to incorporate more items into your day to day diet? I hope so!

Blueberries can be a great item for both their taste and their antioxidants. Here are a few fast ideas to get them into your diet. Throw them into your cereal or oatmeal. Toss them into a salad. Have some with Greek yogurt and honey. Or, just pop a few into your mouth and eat them like candy!

We wanted to take a few minutes and let you know about a few really cool items we just started in the seafood department. We know you all love our poke department so much that we thought it would be a cool idea to add a few new items to the mix. Starting this week, you should see shrimp ceviche and fresh salmon poke in our stores.

For starters, we thought it would be really fun to celebrate some of the other international variations of poke. ... more »

We all know that preparing for a big Thanksgiving Day meal can be a little stressful, especially if you're the one responsible for hosting your friends and family.

We just wanted to share a few tips with you to help things run smoothly. I know it's Tuesday now, but sit back, have a glass of wine, and check out this video interview we did with Melissa Chang from HawaiiIRL. Then ... more »

Well, it's that time to challenge ourselves to eating 100% local again! I don't know about you, but I found the 2010 Kanu Hawaii Eat Local Challenge to be fun and really enlightening. As you may recall, last year I wrote recipes that were mostly local, but this year, I thought that some of you may want to step it up a notch and decide to go 100% local.

This weekend is shaping up to be loaded with lots of fun in the sun as we celebrate our Independence day once again… As you all furiously go about planning your holiday menus, here is a quick idea that you may want to consider, as it is a nice addition to the usual picnic and grilling suspects that we often find here in Hawaii.
